Get excited people, our seasonal tab now defaults to Father’s Day! I like this holiday because there is such a wide range of media options. I love how you can go super funny with a video or keep it more traditional and sentimental. See all the different options in our Seasonal Store and keep checking back as we add more each week!
Well, Mother’s Day is over so now we move on to provide you with media for the next season. We hope this past weekend you honored all the moms in your church! Now, our Memorial Day store is the new seasonal store so check there for anything you need. If you are looking for other media that may not fall into one of our seasonal stores make sure you just search for it and see what comes up. Maybe you are looking for media for Pentecost or maybe for media on Prayer. Either way we have you covered. Let us know what media you are looking for!
True Vue Media starts things off at WHM with an Easter pack of motions and stills. Enhance your worship service with this pack at a good value…
Camron Ware is known for creating dynamic worship environments with unique 3 screen projection. Now that we offer Multi-Screen loops and stills at WorshipHouse we asked him to write a post for the blog to help out churches that want to know more about this type of media…. Enjoy!
—————————–
What are these new multi-screen loops on Worship House? Good question. These specialized loops are designed for projection systems that have 3 separate screens; all controlled by a single computer.
Usually when I do a triple-wide setup, I am using a MacBook Pro, Renewed Vision’s ProVideoPlayer, and a Matrox TripleHead2Go. The Matrox box allows the Mac’s second desktop to be ‘triple-wide’, with a resolution of 2400×600 or 3072×768, etc. ProVideoPlayer then allows me to ‘stretch’ my clips and stills onto that triple-wide second-desktop resolution. However, when using standard 4:3 or 16:9 clips on three screens, the stretching causes most clips to look distorted. These multi-screen loops are the answer! They are specially formatted to fit the triple-wide resolution format. Whether using three screens, or three walls for Environmental Projection, the result of true triple-wide media can be a powerful and memorable experience.
There are several producers on WorshipHouseMedia that are producing triple-wide content, so make sure and go exploring!
One of my favorite examples of using triple-wide loops includes blending Names of God by Visual Worshiper and NightSky by Igniter. The names and stars both fly past you, and it feels like you are experience and inside one motion video.
With more and more churches utilizing three projectors and screens for visuals during worship, the timing couldn’t be better!

Today if your church is having an Ash Wednesday service this visual liturgy piece from The Work Of The People will help set the tone. Ash Wednesday – Psalm 51:

I loved this customer comment on The Living Nativity by the Skit Guys. It is so true!

I never comment on these things, but this is amazing work. I absolutely love the comedy and realism this has. We need more of this in media today. Not in “Christian Media”, in media in general. Phenomenal.
Worship Everywhere has jumped into the top ten this week soon after it was released. This video is powerful in that it contrasts how easy it can be to Worship where it is serene… but what about worship in the city or other places it doesn’t come naturally? I love this idea and it has challenged me to think about how and when I worship. Take a look and weigh in with your thoughts…
We have a lot of great new media in the countdown category. Go over to the countdowns tab sorted by Just Added and see if you like any. If you’ve ever played rock band you will like the newest from Creation Power Media called Guitar Praise Countdown. Flickering Mind also has some cool new ones…
Want to show a video that goes dives deep into Biblical interpretation but yet is still fun? Debunked: Ark is NEW from The Veracity Project. I have to admit I was skeptical at first since there is so much you could say about this story. But right from the start this video catches your attention and sucks you in. It is fast paced, informative, and fun. I’m not sure how they packed in so much insight, but they did so you need to see it…
